What's your all time favorite Sci-Fi film and why?

[Brazoo]

I watched "The Black Hole" for the first time since I was a kid because of this thread.

I still wasn't crazy about it - but I did give it another shot!

Starship Invasions!!

[clemso]

Star Wars, just because.

[Phobos]

Heck, I'm STILL waiting for some movie studio or another to realize that both CHILDHOOD'S END and the RAMA series would make killer big screen material, provided they had the right writers and directors!

2001 A Space Odyssey because I am a huge Arthur C Clarke fan. Childhood's End would be fantastic. Rama is supposedly being talked about:

Rendezvous with Rama (2013) - IMDb

1. Star Trek 2
2. Forbidden Planet
3. Star Wars

Welcome aboard, Phobos (love the handle, BTW); good to know there's another ACC enthusiast on the boards. I would so freak out to see a good version of the RAMA series!!!

One of my favorites that probably no one will mention is "Time After Time."

H.G. Wells (Malcom McDowell) follows Jack the Ripper (David Warner) into the future (1979) in his time machine. I saw it when I was around 10 and it sent to the encyclopedias to learn more about Wells and Jack the Ripper.

Nice uncomplicated time travel flick with a very cute but slightly annoying Mary Steenburgen as the love interest.

Thanks for the welcome, emeraldknight. Hopefully that Rama movie gets made.

[Bruce Banner]

Star Wars (1977).

[Blackkryptonite]

Star Wars. It was fresh and innovative and lots of eye candy the likes of which hadn't been seen prior. 2nd could possibly be the 1984 David Lynch interpretation of Dune. Just a great multi-level story set to some really creative and artistic backdrops.

[The Bat]

Blade Runner- Flat out the look the feel the actors blew me away. I had never seen anything like it and liked the real dialog between the characters.

RIGHT ON BROTHER!! I'm with ya!
